Ádám Dóra

ARTIST: Ádám Dóra

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Ádám Dóra has developed a distinctive painting language based on simple yet emblematic motifs of everyday life. Two mundane activities, dressing and eating, have always been the subject of artistic reflection throughout history as defining pillars of human culture. On a personal level, the starting point for the works on display here is a body of experience that matured into a painting vision over the course of five years, based on the artist's work in the fashion trade and his passion for cooking. His work is closely linked to physicality and sensual experiences. His art is based on a high degree of sensitivity: he is attracted to profane themes in his motifs, which he then transforms through his sensitive painterly language. His works embody impressions of the techno-aesthetic world of our time.

Having worked in the fashion industry for many years, he has long been interested in the aesthetic experience of dressing and especially everyday street wear and trends. Since the global Covid period, when the noise of big cities suddenly quietened down and the streets emptied out, his interest has turned more strongly towards fashion and a kind of slow and analytical analysis of it. Sneakers became the most characteristic motifs in his paintings. The sneaker simultaneously carries the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s and represents the specific features of contemporary fashion trends. It is a distinctive footwear that has become an iconic element of the visual culture of urban spaces today. Its construction is often architectural, layered and many times unexpected, simultaneously meeting the comfort and representational needs of today's people.
